Description:1976 Mercury Cougar, these cars were tanks, I had an autmotive shope teacher with an Elite, which was the Ford version of this who was rear ended sometime in the early 90s by a brand new Buick, which had steam coming out of it and the hood was all crumpled and I believe had to be totaled. The only damage to his car however, was a bent licesence plate. They just don't make em like they used to.
